Sept. 22, 2011, Toronto – As thousands of police personnel members of Ontario's Police Services travel to Ottawa to participate in the Canadian Police Memorial, honouring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow citizens, we are deeply troubled at the remarks of Anthony Marco, NDP candidate.
Police officers face life and death issues every single day. In each and every duty, however routine, police duties are fraught with peril. Officer Garrett Styles of York Region, one of those we honour Sunday in Ottawa, is the most recent Ontario example.
Firefighters have been similarly dismissed by Mr. Marco, as have doctors who face different challenges, but are no less brave. This lack of understanding is beyond us.
Our membership is insulted at the continued inclusion of Anthony Marco on the NDP ticket.
